The Douluo Continent was full of undercurrents because of Tang San's two papers and the role of whale glue.

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang carefully observed the two theories published by Tang San, frowned, and secretly hated Tang San——

The cases in these two theories have detailed sources, and everyone can go to the public library opened by the Spirit Hall to confirm.

On the contrary, the theories that Yu Xiaogang had published were much rougher, especially the source of the best soul ring matching years that he had published. Tang San also pointed out that the limit of the soul ring years that each stage of the soul master could absorb was published by him. It was just the highest number of years that some soul masters had absorbed at the corresponding stage in history. This is clearly recorded in the corresponding books.

Now, his title of Grandmaster has been ridiculed by many people.

What he said was that he hadn't studied it at all, he just copied the highest number of years that soul masters could absorb at each stage in history, and didn't consider whether the soul masters who absorbed these years of soul rings were the same, whether there were differences in physical fitness, and whether the martial soul was compatible with the soul ring. Attributes and so on.

Although he did not consider all these issues, he did consider physical strength anyway.

However, he did not associate the author of the theory with Tang San from Nuoding City.

"Xiaogang, what do you think of whale glue?" Flender found Yu Xiaogang, "Although we don't have much money, this thing can improve the children's physical fitness. Do you want to buy some? I have some relationship with the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Soto City. He should leave some thousand-year-old whale glue."

"No." Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "Although medicine can assist soul masters in cultivation, it can only be used for medicated baths. I don't agree with eating it."

"The children carry stones by themselves and run around Soto City, which can not only strengthen their physical fitness but also enhance their willpower. Isn't this much better than just pursuing whale glue?"

"As for the physical problems, I have the medicated bath recipe of the Blue Lighting Tyrant family, and I'm already using it. Haven't you seen the effect? The children have become much stronger in the past month."

"Although the effect is not as immediate as whale glue, I believe this method is more stable."

"More importantly, even if your friend in the pharmacy keeps the thousand-year-old whale glue for you, it's impossible for him to give it to you for free, right? Even if it's discounted, we can't afford it."

The last point hit Flender's heart.

His Shrek Academy really has no money, and Yu Xiaogang has to spend the academy's money to purchase materials for medicated baths every day. Now he can only afford to buy ten grams of thousand-year whale glue at most.

What's the use of buying ten grams?

"Xiaogang, the academy doesn't have much money, it needs to be expanded, do you have any good ideas?" Flender asked, "In another year or two, we may not even be able to afford the money for medicated baths."

"Let me think about it." Yu Xiaogang said, "Flender, you try to recruit more outstanding students. As long as we can persevere until the children win the championship in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament, Shrek Academy can grow stronger."

"Xiaogang, I want to too, but our Shrek doesn't even have the qualifications to participate." Flender frowned. The purpose of opening an academy is not only to teach students but also to become famous. The best way to become famous is to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

However, the teachers in their academy have more or less had some conflicts with the Spirit Hall. In addition, they are all used to being free and don't want to have anything to do with any forces, so they can't even apply for regular teaching qualifications.

To be honest, this Shrek Academy is not so much an academy as a "high-end" cram school in cooperation with nearby rural areas.

"I'll find a way in the future, you can hold on." Yu Xiaogang encouraged Flender, but he was thinking about how to make Flender give up the name of Shrek and join other regular academies to implement the plan of killing chickens and eggs.

With the strength of Flender, Zhao Wuji and others, joining other academies, they can definitely obtain the right to teach independently, and they can also use the resources of that regular academy to arrange better cultivation plans for the children...

...

Whether it was the actions of other forces on the continent or the plans of Shrek and others, all of this has nothing to do with Tang San at the moment. It was when he went to the Notting City pharmacy to buy medicine again, the old shopkeeper's face was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

Who told him to sell such a large piece of ten thousand-year whale glue?

That is definitely a bargain sale!

Even if there are impurities in it, the ones peeled off from the surface can be mixed together to be the size of two adult fists.

That's ten thousand-year whale glue!

Now one gram can be sold for 10,000 gold soul coins, and it is still priceless. He has lost a lot.

"Boss, is there any more whale glue?" Tang San asked the old shopkeeper.

"No, after Master Tang San's theory was published, I regretted it so much." The old shopkeeper had a bitter face, "Even the ordinary whale glue here has been snapped up. I don't know where to buy it in the future. In the past, this thing was not bought by anyone. Who would have thought that there is a supply shortage now? No, it should be out of supply. If you want whale glue, you can only go to coastal cities to see if there are sea soul masters who just want to go out to sea to hunt whale soul beasts, otherwise you won't be able to buy it at all."

"Okay, give me some dried black fungus." Tang San said.

"Okay, there's a lot of this stuff, how much do you want?" the old shopkeeper asked.

"One catty is fine." Tang San said.

"Okay." The old shopkeeper weighed a catty, put it in a bag, and pushed it in front of Tang San, "Although there is a lot of dried black fungus, it takes time to dry it, so it costs five copper soul coins per catty."

Tang San gave five copper soul coins and returned to the Spirit Hall with the dried black fungus.

It's not that Tang San wanted to eat black fungus, but when Guangling took whale glue, he would feel nauseous. The taste of this thing is really not very good for human tongues.

After adding sugar, Xiao Wu felt okay, but Guangling——

Sugar, Guangling likes it; whale glue, Guangling can barely accept it and swallow it; but when the two are combined, she almost vomited... Although she swallowed it in the end, but that twisted expression, those who don't know thought that Tang San was bullying the little girl.

Therefore, Tang San decided to try it with black fungus.

After soaking and washing the black fungus, Tang San softened the whale glue, wrapped it with black fungus, made it the size of a fingernail, and handed it to Guangling: "Try it, if it doesn't work, you can swallow it directly, black fungus is relatively smooth. ."

This method is actually similar to various capsule-like drugs in Tang San's previous life. Some medicinal powders cannot be accepted by human taste buds and cannot be swallowed. They are wrapped with a layer of starch shell that can be decomposed by stomach acid, which is convenient for people to swallow directly.

Tang San didn't know how to make starch shells, so he could only use other things instead. Black fungus is a good choice.

Guangling took it, swallowed the whale glue wrapped in black fungus directly, and said: "Brother, I feel much better this way, but it doesn't taste like anything."

"That's good." Tang San nodded.

After a while, the black fungus was decomposed in Guangling's stomach, and the thousand-year-old whale glue took effect, causing Guangling's whole body to turn red, but it dissipated after a while.

After all, that thousand-year-old whale glue was only the size of a fingernail, and the effect was not strong.

Guangling is only six years old, and it is enough to eat one small piece every day. After all, she was originally skinny, not much different from Tang San at the beginning, or even thinner.

This kind of tonic is not suitable to eat too much at once, it needs to be taken slowly.
